dates from 1902.
Salt
Lake City Corporation - Water Works Department
Letterhead for the Salt Lake City Corporation
- Water Works Department. Water has always been closely associated with mining, either the workings were to wet and had to
be pumped out, or they were to dry, and water had to be hauled in from a great distance to make mining operations feasible.
Even today, mining property owners in the Cottonwood Canyon areas above Salt Lake City are battling with Salt Lake City Water
Corp. over who owns the water that falls on their property, and who owns the water that issues from the portals of old mining
properties. This sample is identical to the Recorders sample above, except for the Water Works stamping. This sample dates
from 1903.

Lake Mining Review
Evolution of a Mast-head - The Mining Review
comes full-circle.
Below is a collection
of images showing the evolution and variations of the Salt Lake Mining Review mast-head. The documents covers a range from
1899 when publication began, to 1928 when the name formally changed to The Mining and Contracting Review. It is worth noting
that the publication began simply titled The Mining Review. It wold be less than a year before the title would change and
the words Salt Lake were added.
The Salt Lake
Mining Review was a local publication that was very informative on Utah and Intermountain mining matters, but seem almost
as interested in promoting Utah mining as well as reporting on it.
Version one of The Mining Review banner. Used from April 1899 to December
1899.

publication. 1997 - Courtesy Salt Lake City Public Library - Special Collections.

Salt
Lake Soap Company
Letterhead from the Salt Lake Soap Company.
Stories of the "old west" tell of the infrequency of bathing and cleaning up. But, I would like to think that once
in a while the miner in the hills and the soap from this or any other company eventually made a connection with one another.
Those Saturday night outings to Alta, way back when, could have meant a bath, couldn't it? Then again... Ok, back to
the letterhead. This one shows not only the soap works, but takes liberties with Eagle Gate as well. in this instance, that
landmark of Brigham Young's property in downtown Salt Lake City, has been adorned with "White Rose Our Queen", a
slogan of the soap company. This sample is from 1892.
